My deepest sympathy to the family of Margene Mistelske. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I only knew Margene for a short time while she was at St. Therese of Woodbury. Very kind and caring lady. She will be missed

We're so sorry to hear about your family's loss. We met Margene at St. Therese and had lunch with her quite a bit. She lived next to my client, Dolly Lynch. She was so sweet and had a beautiful spirit. She will be missed. Sadly,Cindi Ford

Patrice, word traveled fast on your mothers passing due to Barb and others from "our gang" messaging each other. I'm sorry for your loss and send my love, prayers and hugs to you; John and Mary, and the entire family.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear John, Mary, Patrice, and Family--
I'm so sorry to learn of your loss, even as we know Margene is in a better place now. I remember her in my mind's eye just as clearly as when you were my adopted family some 43 years ago. She was truly a loving and generous soul, and I was fortunate to have known her, if only for a little while.

Hi Patrice,

So sorry to hear about your mom!!

Hope all is well with you,

Bill Monahan

Margene was a true Catholic Treasure! I remember her as I grew up at Holy Spirit parish, and one of my twin daughters, Elizabeth, had the privilege of being her 3rd grade penpal. I also enjoyed when Margene was able to attend the Franciscan Retreats in Prior Lake with her daughters, Patrice and Mary -- what a joyful group of ladies! Our sincerest condolences, but you know Margene is rejoicing in Eternal Life! Peggy, Catherine and Elizabeth Rodewald

Patrice and family
So sorry to hear of your mothers passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
